The Burden of Nine Lives

Bots and maybe cast and crew members of this trash of a movie came on here to up the numbers so you can waste almost 2 precious hours of your life, watching his garbage.

Don't do it.

They literally just got wack ass gangsters and a few novice/amateur actors and tried to make a point on this one.

But it's most definitely the greatest fail of the year.

Trust me. I'm not mincing words. Every word i'm putting down here is how i genuinely feel about this movie.

I've never really done a review on IMDB but i had to come here and create an account just to review and post a rating! Sigh. God save us from having horrible experiences like this one!

I didn't know what to expect when I hit play on The Burden of Nine Lives, but it caught me off guard-in a good way. It starts off gritty and dark, almost like a crime thriller, but then it digs into something deeper. Jimmy's story is tough to watch at times, but there's this weird beauty in how it unfolds. Nothing feels over-dramatized, just raw and honest. There's this quiet, almost haunting atmosphere throughout the film that stays with you. You can tell the filmmakers weren't trying to impress with gimmicks-they just wanted to tell a real story. The story touches you at many levels, it's worth giving your time.

I wasn't sure what I was in for with The Burden of Nine Lives, but it turned out to be one of those rare films that sits with you for days, echoing long after the credits roll. It's quiet, slow-moving, but so emotionally packed and layered with meaning. The lead performance is strong and subtle-there's a lot being said in silence, through glances and restrained gestures.

It's not an easy watch if you're looking for something upbeat or fast-paced, but if you appreciate introspective films that carefully explore what it means to carry guilt, face the past, and try to move forward, this one's absolutely worth your time. The visuals are stunning in a quiet, contemplative way-nothing showy, but deeply intentional and poetic in how they frame each moment.

Props to Vega Montañez-this is a director who clearly has a vision. The Burden of Nine Lives isn't trying to be flashy or mainstream, and that's what makes it work. The film feels personal and intentional, like every scene was carefully thought out. There's a quiet intensity in the storytelling that pulls you in without forcing it. Sure, it might not be for everyone-it's more of a slow, layered burn-but Montañez keeps things grounded and real. Honestly, I'm curious to see what he does next.

The performances feel natural, like these are real people dealing with real consequences, not just actors reading lines. The pacing might throw some viewers off, but I appreciated how it took its time. There's confidence in that-like Montañez knows exactly what kind of story he's telling and isn't trying to rush or simplify it. It's the kind of film that rewards you for paying attention, and you can feel the emotional tension simmering just under the surface. It's low-key powerful, and I respect that a lot.

The Burden of Nine Lives is definitely one of those films that sticks with you-even if you're not entirely sure why. It creates this moody, surreal atmosphere that's visually stunning. The cinematography, lighting, and sound design are top-tier, and the performances feel raw and real. That said, I did find myself waiting for something bigger to happen. The story moves at a slow pace and leans heavily into symbolism, which might not be for everyone. Still, I admire its ambition and the way it invites you to interpret things for yourself. It's not a typical crowd-pleaser, but if you're in the mood for something artsy and introspective, it's a solid pick.
